WASjOBLE ONE Mrs. M. C. Benham's Chief Work That of Christian House Mother.

HER DEATH WAS A SHOCK. EXPIRED SUDDENLY AT HER HOME IN GLEN VIEW AFTER HAVING SPENT GREATER PART OF THE DAY OUT OF DOORS. The death of Mrs. Benham, wife of Dr. M. C. Benham, of Glen View, yesterday evening, came as a great shock to her many friends. While in failing health for some months, she was par ticularly bright and cheery through the day, spending the greater portion of it on of doors. At five o'clock she was suddenly stricken with a severe attack of heart failure, and two hours after, the end came peacefully and quietly. Mrs. Benham was the daughter of James Harvey Randolph, a native of Green County, Ohio, an early pioneer of Carroll County, Indiana, and a lineal descendant of John Randolph of Roan-, oke. Mr. and Mrs. Bennam were married at Delphi, Indiana, December 31, 1854, and came to Richmond twentyseven years ago. In 1891 they built Glen View, which has been the family home ever since. The oldest son, Harvey, died at the age of nine years, and the three other children survive the mother Mrs. J. A. Rondthaler, Chicago; Mrs. B. C. Addington, Richmond, and Dr. J. F. Benham, Hardesty, Oklahoma. Mrs. Benham was a woman of sterling character and decided convictions, with the highest ideals of honor and a keen sense of the things that are right and true and beautiful. Her theories of life were keyed to the finest expression cf christian character and her every-day life was a practical expression of her best thought. Mrs. Benham's work in life was that noble christian service of the American house mother, and in that her devotion and consecration were eminent. The funeral services will be held on Friday afternoon at four o'clock at the Glen View home. Interment at Earlham cemetery. Friends desiring to call before the services will be welcome on Thursday evening from four to nine o'clock. t AGAINST PROHIBITION Hotel Keepers in Convention Pass Resolutions on The Subject. LEGISLATION DETRIMENTAL Saratoga, N. Y., July 15. Hotel pro prietors from all parts of the United States and Canada, comprising the members of the Hotel Men's Mutual Benefit association are holding their twenty-ninth annual convention here In his report President James H. Joyce of Baltimore urged that hotel men in the country unite. "A great deal of legislation detri mental to the hotel interests has been passed in the various states durin the past year," he said, "owing to the indifference or lack of organization among hotel men. We have interests that should be respected and protected and this could only be done thoroughly by a national body." The following resolution was adopt ed unanimously: "This association desires to express its stanch conviction that prohibition embodying as it does legislative re striction of personal liberty, is an is sue that hotel men of America cannot ignore.' Officers for the next year were elect ed- as follows: President, Edward M Tierney, New York; vice president, P. F. Frey, Richmond, Va.; secretarytreasurer, J. K. Blatchford, Chicago. The next place of meeting was left to the board of directors. UNCLE JOE TIRED OF POLITICAL GAME Don't Want the Subject Mentioned to Him. Mackinac Island, Mich.. July 15. "I am tired of politics.

HOW WIDER WAY West Second Street Viaduct And Sewer Systems Are Being Built. RAILROAD COMPANY ACTIVE

HAS ALREADY DONE ITS PART IN COMPLETING PRELIMINARIES OF VIADUCT CONSTRUCTIONWORKMEN SCARCE. The work of erecting a viaduct over the Pennsylvania railroad crossing at Northwest Second street, and of mak- j ing the big sewer system and numer-1 ous other civic improvements is now well under headvay. There is no doubt but that all these improvements will be completed by the specified time, January 1. l'.MKK Hipskind & Son, the Wabash con tractors, have completed the first section of the sewer whic'a extends from the Sheridan street viaduct to the west side of North First street and today the primary assessment roll for this work was presented to the board of public works. Contractor Hall, of Delphi, Ind., is now engaged in the work of constructing the second section of this sewer system, which extends from Northwest First street to Northwest Second street thence under thcrailroad to State street. This section of the sewer is by far the most difficult to construct owing to the large amount of blasting required. It will be impossible to com plete this work until Trippeer & Sons of Peru, who have the contract of op ening Northwest Second street under the railroad have completed their work. The railroad company has driven piling to support its tracks so that the excavation under them can be made Next week the Peru contracting firm will begin its work. As soon as all the dirt has been hauled away the railroad company will begin work of erecting its permanent viaduct. The first work of the railroad company will be to erect concrete piers. Hipskind & Son are now busily en gaged in thp construction of the big $."o,0)0 sewer system in West Rich mond, south of Main street. The fil tering beds for the sewer, constructed to secure a purified outflow into the river, nave about been completed. The pipes used in this system are of con crete and are made on the ground. The contractor in charge of tho work states that he needs thirty men, but has found it almost impossible to secure them. No underground work is required and the men receive good wages, but this does not appear to appeal to the idle workmen of this city. NEARLY CONVINCED OF HUSBAND S SUCCESS Mrs. John W. Kern Thinks Man Sincere. Indianapolis, July 15. Mrs. John W. Kern, wife of the vice presidential candidate of the democratic party, is nearly convinced that her husband is going to be elected. "You would be surprised," she said today "at the people that have pledged us their support. Then I think men are more sincere than women and I count on what they tell me. As I have found it, you can most generally depend on the word of a man. but as for a woman well, I can't say." 010 NOT PROVE TO BE KIDNAPED BOY Salvation Army Lad Not Son Of Dr. Byers. Terre Haute, Ind.. July 15. The authorities and neighbors of Dr. Byers, whose son was kidnaped four years ago, are much puzzled over the identlty of a youth who worked with the Salvation Army at Clay City and who was believed to be the kidnaped boy. When taken to the doctor's home in Seeleyville, both he and his wife saw it was not their son, despite the startling identity of peculiar physical markings. The youth thus far has failed to reveal his parentage. -.tr.. ". i.

The English do not know what to think until they are coached laboriously and insistently for years in the proper and becoming opinion. For ten years past with an unprecedented pertinacity and obstlnatlon I have, been dinning Into the public head that I am an extraordinarily witty, brilliant and clever man. That is now part of the public opinion of England, and no power In heaven or earth will ever change it I may dodder and dote, may pot boil and platitudinlze.

A politician in St. Louis secured sereral offices on the strength of his war record and went about to gatherings of real soldiers and made flamboyant speeches. One day in a ball in East St. Louis he dwelt with much emphasis on his own brave record in two battles. "How could that be?" asked a little man who wore a G. A. R. button.

"I didn't do it." exclaimed Johnny as he threw up his arm. "What is the meaning of this?" said the bishop severely.
